Reservoir Simulation - Heriot-Watt University Course

Level: Skill | Type: Classroom | Discipline: Reservoir Simulation

It provides a recap of some of the basic concepts in Reservoir Engineering required to perform reservoir fluid flow calculations, and gives examples of the types of calculation that may be performed, and when these are required. The principles of how to define the material balance and flow calculations is established and how to solve the pressure equations. Practical issues around gridding, defining and controlling wells and upscaling are introduced.

This course forms part of the Heriot-Watt Distance Learning MSc Petroleum Engineering.  Classes may be attended by individuals who seek to understand better the subject but who are not registered for the degree course.
